We are in mid-February, and with Valentine’s Day and Presidents’ Day now behind us, perhaps you are wondering if there is any fun to be had on the East End. Oh Yes! I say, and offer a reminder that this is the best time to truly enjoy the North Fork and the Hamptons. While it’s true that the beaches are chilly, and the vineyard vines are bare, bring the party indoors with an afternoon at the breweries and wineries, and of course the restaurants! Winterfest, a celebrate and of arts and culture on the East End is about to get started, and now is the time to get in on those trivia night games. So if you are thinking of getting away to the North Fork or the Hamptons, get packing! Just remember an extra pair of socks, sturdy shoes and fluffy sweater. We bet this will be the BEST East End Experience yet!

Does your dream wedding space have a dressing room? This is an important consideration, and chances are if you have chosen a vineyard, beach or farm venue, you will be improvising in an onsite restroom, spare office, or a curtained off corner of an outbuilding. Is...

It’s the week before Valentine’s Day, and it seems everyone is scrambling for just the right gift (if it’s not an engagement ring), and of course the beautiful bouquet of flowers to go with it. We love how excited everyone gets trying to create the most romantic...

Happy Valentine’s Day, Lovers! Valentine’s Day is here, and it has landed oh so inconveniently right in the middle of the week (but we do note that it is on hump day, lol). For most, that means a scramble home after work to get ready to be romantic in some fashion –...

We are nearly a week into February, and Valentine’s Day is on everyone’s mind. I may get scolded for this, but to keep this day for lovers a happy experience for all, I propose (see what I did there?) that you take advantage of the mid-week date this year, and plan your most romantic activities for a day NEAR, but not ON the actual Valentine’s Day. After all, it’s a mad crush to get the flowers, dinner reservations, special spa day, or whatever else you have planned, on the actual day. In fact, I remember one Valentine’s Day when my love’s beautiful bouquet didn’t get delivered until 11 p.m. because a snow storm made it very slow going on the roads.

This is about savoring the experience, enjoying it, and taking in every moment. So, consider celebrating this day for lovers on the weekend either before or after February 14th. Then you truly can savor the moments.

And like that January 2018 is in the history books. For a very short month, February has much packed into it — Ground Hog Day, Super Bowl Sunday, Valentine’s Day, Presidents and school vacation. Whew! I’m tired just writing that! The winter is wonderful time to Savor the East End. Valentine’s Day is a wonderfully romantic reason to visit. Check out the fabulous restaurants, do some day spa pampering, and plan a romantic weekend at one of our wonderful B&Bs. And, in the midst of it all is Winterfest, a weeks long music festival hosted at the local wineries…it’s a great reason to visit the North Fork, and scope out the places you plan to return to during the warmer months.

Stop Waiting! Start Chasing your dreams!
The New Year signals new beginnings. From calendars to resolutions, our mindset is one of starting afresh. We have a blank slate if you will…and there is something both comforting and intimidating about that. Comforting knowing that you can put the past behind you – learn from your mistakes and begin again. Intimidating also perhaps because the new year is a blank page, and you are now challenged to fill it with worthwhile pursuits….In 2018, Savor Your Journey and it will be a life well-lived.

This holiday week between Christmas and New Year’s Day offers a nice mini-break from our responsibilities, as we relax and enjoy the holiday celebrations. It’s nice to gather with friends and family, and leave the world behind for a bit, while you reminisce about year that has pasted and make grand plans for the new year about to be. I guess that’s why couples in love are inspired to get engaged. It’s so romantic to pop the question on Christmas Eve, or New Year’s Eve, isn’t it? Then you can launch right into planning the wedding for a summer soiree. Or elope on Valentine’s Day!

Oh but I’m getting ahead of myself (that can happen when I start talking weddings!)….

With a name like Insatiable EATS you expect decadent, delicious cuisine, and you would be correct. With Chef Marco Barrila at the helm of this imaginative kitchen, your special occasion menu is limited only by your imagination. Chef Marco brought his Italian kitchen...

December is here and Holiday Season 2017 is in full swing! As you wrack your brain and slog through the malls to find the perfect gift for everyone on your gift list, please keep in mind that in the end the most cherished gifts are those that you give of yourself. And, these are the gifts that also give something to you. Sure, the latest and greatest gadget, the trendiest sweater, or the flashiest bauble will impress when they are unwrapped, but I have found that the favorite things of the holidays are those that money can’t buy.

We adore flowers. That’s the first thing the Roses & Rice team said when asked to describe their business. One look at their designs, and that is most evident. Apparently, they also adore weddings and celebrations, because their suite of wedding arrangements are...
